Straight Arm Flipturn Technique #theraceclub

Having a fast flip turn can be the difference between first and second place. At The Race Club we like to emphasize the importance of practicing flips with intensity and proper intent at every opportunity.

In addition to emphasizing practicing fast flip turns we like to ensure our swimmers also utilize proper technique. We often see swimmers bending their arms during the flip when the preferred technique involves keeping the arms straight through the flip. This allows swimmers to better transition into hyper streamline to preserve more speed off each wall. For a more in depth look at flip turns visit us on our website.
